The labor force participation rate is the number of people in the labor force divided by the number of people in the country who

are of working age and not institutionalized. The BLS reported in February 2012 that the labor force participation rate in the United States was 63.7% (Calculatedrisk). A marketing company asks 120 working-age people if they either have a job or are looking for a job, or, in other words, whether they are in the labor force.What are the expected value and the standard error for a labor participation rate in the company’s sample? Multiple Choice : a) 0.637, b) 0.0019, c) 0.637, d) 0.04397, e) 6.44, f) 0.0019

Answer:

The expected participation rate is 0.637.

The standard error is 0.04397

Step-by-step explanation:

For each working age people asked, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are in the labor force, or they are not. This means that we can solve this problem using binomial distribution probability concepts.

Binomial probability:

Expected value for the participation rate: The expected value is the probability of a success. In this problem, a success is a working age people being in the labor force. 63.7% of them are. So \pi = 0.637. This means that the expected participation rate is 0.637.

Standard error for the participation rate:

The standard error is given by the following formula:

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}.

In this problem, 120 people are asked, so \pi = 120

s = \sqrt{n\pi(1-\pi)} = \sqrt{\frac{0.637*(1-0.637)}{120}} = 0.04397.

So the standard error is 0.04397

Answer: a) 0.637

d) 0.04397

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the expected value and standard error for proportion (p) is given by :-

E(\overline{P})=p

SD(\overline{P})=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}} , where n is the sample size.

Given :  The BLS reported in February 2012 that the labor force participation rate in the United States was 63.7% .

i.e. the proportion of  labor force participation rate in the United States : p=0.637

 A marketing company asks 120 working-age people if they either have a job or are looking for a job, or, in other words, whether they are in the labor force.

i.e. n= 120

Then, the expected value and the standard error for a labor participation rate in the company’s sample will be :-

E(\overline{P})=0.637

SD(\overline{P})=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.637(1-0.637)}{120}}\\\\=\sqrt{0.001926925}=0.0438967538663\approx0.043897

Hence, the correct answers are : a) 0.637 (For expected value)

d) 0.04397 (For standard error .)

Please answer something relevant to this question ,I really need help with this

First you need to substitute the xs and ys into point slope ( y1 - y2 = m(x1 - x2). in this example it would be 3-6= m(0 - (-1)). then you just simplify, so -3 = m(1) -3=m. the slop is -3. because you already know the y-intercept is 3 (0,3), you can substitute everything into slope intercept (y=mx+b). so the answer is y=-3x+3.

I hope this helped, let me know if you are still confused and i can help :)

klemol [59]

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Add 6 and 5 and that multiplies with 8 which would be 88

2. Then divide by 4, leaving you with 22.

3. Add that with 6(2), 12, and that gives you 34
